Buddha Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, was the son of a king. His real name was Siddhartha Gautama. At 29 he wanted more from life, so he left his palace, his wife Yashodhara, and his son Rahula, and he became a wandering ascetic. He learned the inevitability of suffering and death, and saw his destiny. Seating himself beneath a tree at Bodh Gaya he attained supreme enlightenment. The spiritual path of Buddhism begins with the Four Noble Truths the Buddhist understanding of the self, of karma and rebirth, and of enlightenment and Nirvana.
